Congratulations

Congrautlations, I remember that wonderful feeling when our case was complete. Next step, make sure you review the checklis/email from NVC, have all of your documents in order for the interview (copies of emails, chats, evidence, photos and copies of marriage certificate, affidivit of support, birth certificate and other things you may you sent to NVC ---just in case they ask for it, even though they have it),and the medical exam completed before your interview date.

We have our interview tomorrow morning. I was not able to go to Nija to be there with my husband so I sent my husband all the documents along with a photo album so he could put our pictures in it as well. I sent him a tie I bought just for his interview day.

DWheels, girl I have been following you through this process. I cant wait to hear CASE COMPLETE for you, then we all can do our praise dance.

RosyG,I agree with you about this website. It has been wonderful being able to converse with people who are in the similar situation as I am, and willing to hold my hand as I go through this process. Having friends who completely understand this process,both the disappointments and victories is a wonderful feeling.

I also moved during my process and had to change my address.I suggset you do both. Call and send also an email as a confirmation. You can never be to careful. USCIS needs to have your correct address to send you the NOA-2. Moving will not affect your process. But keeping an updated address with the USCIS is very important. Hope this helps.

From my experience thus far I have learned its always a good idea to call NVC and check on your case. You often find out the status before they contact you or send an email. The operator may ask when did you send youer DS230 and then tell you it takes 20 business days for them to review everything. But I have learned its less than 20 days from them receiving everything to case complete. After your case is complete then NVC says interviews are scchedule during the first two weeks of every month. I think it would be a good idea to call on Monday and check on your case. By the way even though you know they have recieved the operator may say that they are still waiting for it. Do not be alarmed. Your paperwork is there just that the information has not been entered in the system yet to complete your case. Best advise is to keep calling and ask what the next step it and case status. Hope this helps. Good luck

Deb, girl you are a beast. I give you much respect. You have given persistance and dedication a new name. I think the last reviewed letter was good. All you can do with NVC at this point is what you are doing now. A tattoo "delayed not denied" is a great idea.

Dwheel its been a long journey for you my dear. I know that all things are possible. I better than anyone knows its possible to get case closed and interview date in a matter of a couple days. I prayer that you and your husband for a speedy case complete without anymore delays and an interview date sooner than you expect. Favour!!!

Congratulations

Congrtulations!!! Another succesful interview. Yeah. Ready for our turn next month.

No this is not true. I would call again this week. It does take a few days to transfer your paperwork to NVC for "processing" after its left USCIS. But they should be able to tell you the case number soon. Sometimes its seems like they try to find out how much you know or have before they tell you anything. Sometimes its all in asking the "right" question or getting the right operator with common sense and a good attitude. Good luck.

Thanks for the medical review. All reviews are very helpful when completing steps in this journey.

Congratulations!!!! And I hope that you your health will continue to improve and that you baby will continue to grow strong and healthy.

It may be a good idea to call the NVC if at all possible to find out if they have received your I-864 and if it has been entered in the system. Keep in mind that Thursday was a holiday and the NVC was closed. It only took 5 days from the daye our I-864 was delivered for the fee bill for DS-230 to be generated. To submit your forms with this application your case barcode cover sheet is also needed that is generated from the fee bill receipt page. To the best of my knowledge you will need a police clearance from Lagos since you have lived there for five years. NVC needs police clearance from everywhere you have lived since the age of 16. I hope this helps.

Thanks D, our priority date is January 24, 2012. Hubby he sent the birth certificate to me today, DHL- 3 days, mmmmm we will see wont we LOL. Its time D, we are too close.

Hey VJ family just wonderfing if anyone has gotten a January interview date yet? I see December is all taken. Trying to figure out where we may fit into the interview system with NVC for Nigeria.

Yes mam, we are praying the same prayer for sure. He should send our documents today I hope to have in NVC's hand by the end of the month as well. This is the only thing they need to close our case.**HEADS UP It only took NVC 15 business days to review our IV application once they received it. FAITHFUL IS OUR GOD.

Debbie,case not completed yet. we has a little issue with IV documents (i.e. birth certificate). to make a long story short, hubby had to send me another birth certificate.OOPS wifey made a mistake. Hopefully case will be closed by first week in December. I am feeling February interview date. FAITHFUL

Dwheels, thanks for your question, I was wondering the same thing. I think you and I are at at the same point in our process. I rather be more prepared than I have to be.

Yes we submitted the one issued to the National Population commision. Thanks everyone for the information. Its on now. Gotta bring my hubby home. NVC watch out. LOL

Yes I do have a copy of his birth certificate

OK great, that helps. thanks I will check on that.

NVC is requesting RFE for my husbands original birth certificate in which I thought I sent. I submitted the original birth attestation letter from the National Population Commission. Is this not that same thing as his birth certificate? If not where does he need to go to get the birth ceritifcate, how does it look, and how long does it take for him to get it done? Thanks in advance for the information.

I also had the same question when I submitted my husbands police record to NVC. I was told that even though the police records expires in three months that it is still valid as long as the police records was submitted to NVC before the expiration date and that another police record will not be needed for the interview.hope this helps

Congatulations. It warms my heart and gives me even more encouragment everytime I read about SUCCESS. Wishing you much love and happiness.

Hubby just called. Approved. He will come to post details today.

Congratulations
